Why dont you go use your monomate for it.
Lol anyway, bug bites do suck. Especially the ones that itch for days that it just gets really annoying and you end up bleeding from scratching so much.

the worst bug bite story for me was when I was studying in China in a non ACed room full of mosquitoes... so your alternatives were to sweat a lot under covers and get bitten less, or to get bitten a lot without covers and sweat less. Well I tried going for the former (for some reason the saliva of Chinese Mosquitoes seem to be more itchy) and I had all my body covered... except my face.


I woke up in the morning my lip was about 2times bigger it looked like there was a marble in my lip (that was the first thing I noticed as I was waking up and I had awful images of a cockaroach planting its eggs in me and baby bugs crawling out of my mouth) then I ran to a mirror and I was also bitten above and below my eye (right on the lid!) and my eye was so swollen I couldn't open it... I looked like a beast. I was so embarressed I refused to leave my room. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

A good way to sooth the itching is to put some ice cubes in a plastic bag and hold it to the bites. ^^ The coldness numbs the skin, so you can't feel the itch ^^
